Weee! Zend released a preview version of their PHP framework:
http://framework.zend.com/download

Basically it's Zend's effort to stop PHP developers from reinventing the wheel for every new application they start. There's a little bit of Ruby-on-Rails-like functionality, with the Zend_Controller and Zend_View classes, and other neat classes to help with Ajax, Web Services, PDFs, input filtering, etc. It's designed to play nice with your existing classes, letting you include what you need and leave out the rest.

I haven't tried working with it yet because there's a lot of info to absorb but the code looks pretty solid. Anyone try it out for real yet?
